Just playing with collage and paint. There’s a deconstructed house in there, another tracing for a painting by George Thomas. And many paper scraps that are leftovers of the collage party. I don’t seem to have the mind to make more coherent pictures at the moment, so spritzings from my moods will have to do.
The February collage party came a little late this year, but it came nevertheless. Here’s the one piece I managed to finish during the party, but expect more to come in the next few days as I sort paper and tidy the studio up again. Thanks to the late George Thomas, from whose studio archives I got the tracing of a perspective study which forms the basis for the collage.
Here is the Group Collage that came out of this year’s party. Nine people contributed to this effort. Plus a few more that were there in spirit.
tossing one off
questing journey
I’m listening to Tolkien’s Fellowship of the Ring as read by Andy Serkis. Though I’ve read the trilogy a couple of times to myself, and read it out loud to others two times, I’ve never had it read to me and I am enjoying it. This drawing doesn’t have any specific relation to the book, but I’m pretty sure the sense of travel and adventure, with a fair does of discomfort and danger, is leaking over into my art.

tree. with leggy roots and spiky wings
rest as you can, but hold all the stories
foreboding
watch, wait, hold the fort
